Ways to make my grip sticky?

I've been using Black Knight's rad cushion grip for awhile, and am very happy with how it feels. However, after a few weeks, sweat has taken its toll, and the grip now gets slippery when damp. Does anyone know of something I can use to make my grip more tacky and where I could get it?

It IS tacky, but very expensive (about $10 per grip). The grip is incredibly durable and feels great, but loses tackiness after a lot of sweating. I really like the grip, and I would rather find a way to renew its tackiness instead of switching to a different one.

no matter how sticky your grip is, it will get slippery in the presence of sweat.

there are a few way to make the problem better:

- wipe hand often
- get 2 identical racket and switch between them
- apply those grip powder (do a search to find out what they are)
- use wrist band, they stop some sweat from flowing down from the forearm
- switch to towel grip

i use one of the tackiest grip in the market, i am not as big a sweater as others, despite so, my grip will get slippery after a while. i use a combination of method 1) and 2) above.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get my hands on some grip powder. In Canada, I don't know how much luck I'll have, but it's worth a try. If I can't get any, I guess I'll just take Kwun's advice and use towel grip.

Black knight rad grip isnt tacky compared to other grips. Take a look at Dinkalot's grip review. Id recommend Gamma Supremes because they are moisture absorbing and tacky, the best of both worlds IMO =]

Which shops can i get this at exactly? I live in Mississauga Canada. Maybe National Sports? Sport Chek?
